Besides PS4 which console from Sony used proven technologies and architectures? PS3 had at least Cell as unproven and even Bluray drive, PS2 and PS1 were internally developed architetures.

What kind of counter-argument is that?

The PS3 was a technological nightmare. It fails in ALL its performance goals and almost tank Sony - that at the time was in a far better financial situation that they are now. 

Do you think Sony would risk burning billions of dollars in a gamble that would give them no extra advantages?

Besides the consoles being almost 25 and 20 years of age, both PS1 and PS2 were full of third party parts and old technologies. The only real novelty of the PS2 was the DVD drive.

Take a look at this

The base of the PS2 CPU, launched in 2000 was a MIPS processor launched in 1996 that was used in arcade cabinets.

[Insert "I rest my case" meme here]

So after admitting PS3 was a tech nightmare you rest you case of Sony ALWAYS using proved technologies and architetures?

You should rest your mind.
